You'll Be Surprised How Many Donuts Worth Of Sugar Are In These 10 Everyday Foods

To visualize this, we compared the amount of sugar in foods that
are not traditionally thought of as dessert items, like yogurt
and apple sauce, to the amount of sugar in a chocolate glazed
donut — about 13 grams.

Added sugar only includes things like cane sugar and high
fructose corn syrup that aren't found naturally in ingredients
like fruit and milk. Keep in mind
that naturally-occurring sugars and added sugar are combined
on nutrition labels as "total sugar."

(A similar post from Dana Liebelson at Mother Jones
inspired our list of high-sugar foods. See their list here.)

There are 26 grams of sugar in a typical 6-ounce
container of fruit-flavored yogurt (more than half is added
sugar). That's equivalent to around 6.5 teaspoons of sugar.
